Next comms menu via DX
-
Hi all,
I have an ICP that is working via DX buttons, not key binds. Setting up the ICP is not an issue.
Now, I would like to use the pinky shift function to add comms functionality.The ICP numbers can be mapped to the numbers, no problem there.
Then I want to map the top buttons to the comm menus themselves (com1=awacs, …, a-g=tanker). When I press pinky + a button the first comms menu appears. But I can’t go to the next page. When I press the shifted button again, the menu box disappears again.After some searching I understand the keyfile uses OTWRadioMenuStep & OTWRadioMenuStepBack with combined keypresses. After reading duncs keyfile manual I see DX assignment in the keyfile are not made out of the same parts as keybindings, so no combined options available.
I’ve tried mapping my DCS SEQ to OTWRadioMenuStep but that doesn’t do anything either.
Any idea’s how I can implement menustep/stepback with shifted dx?Keyboard part

temporarily fixed with a workaround by adding OTWRadioMenuStep to the shifted function of my WX button.

Curious as to why you are doing this? Voice comms no good?

I’ve tried VAC and alike but never got it to work optimal for me. As we use human ATC/GCI often, and we try to use the same phraseology when practising single player, they can’t be matched with VAC profiles easily.
I need some comms from time to time and in my semi pit the keyboard is not handy at all. So it’s much easier for me to be able to access BMS comms menus via my ICP in front of me then.
